Daugiau nei 30 proc #Bikcoinas „hashrate“ atsijungė dėl ekstremalių orų Teksase ir dar visame pasaulyje #Bikcoinas tinklas ir toliau puikiai veikia.

It was paramount for the hashrate to be affected since the United States city housed a lot of Bitcoin kalnakasiai. The rasping weather meant that miners had to pause operations. Meanwhile, the hashrate dip did not halt BTC transactions despite hitting the lowest in almost a month.
BTC: Is it time for a repeat?
In times past, the hashrate decreasing this much indicated a negative impact for BTC according to Korean crypto analyst Crypto Sunmoon. In fact, it implied certainty in a value decrease since the hashrate acts as the computing power for processing transactions on the Bitcoin network.
Explaining his opinion via his CryptoQuant leidinys, Crypto Sunmoon said,
“Hashrate has dropped dramatically. This suggests that some miners have stopped mining and are experiencing financial difficulties. Miners who stop mining are likely to sell their Bitcoins.In the past, when the hash rate (30 EMA) reached two peaked and decreased, bitcoin prices also decreased twice.”

However, early BTC signs showed that the case might be different this time. This was due to the BTC price maintaining the $16,800 region at press time. According to CoinMarketCap, this represented a neutral position over the previous data.
In other ends, Bitcoin exchange reserves which declined earlier were still in the same region. According to Ghoddusifar, another CryptoQuant analyst, increase in reserves were usually lydimi with an increase in the BTC price.
Hence, this dwindling case meant that BTC remained at risk of a further fall. Nonetheless, this could signify the start of a bullish crossover.

Per the four-hour chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) had exited its potential for buying strength. At the time of writing, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) was 51.33, maintaining neutral momentum.
In the short term, BTC might likely fall to the demand of bears. This was due to the condition of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). At press time, the 20 (blue) and 50 (yellow) EMAs were closely positioned. However, the 50 EMA still remained above a bit. Hence, the bearish inference.
